FAITH.....
Sometime back I had to take a flight for my tour. I took my ticket
went inside of the airport..took my boarding pass gave my luggage, went through
the security check and waited for the flight to be announced waiting on the
couch, and when the announcement happened for my flight at the gate no 1. I
stood up and went to the gate took the bus and after showing my boarding pass
at the last check went inside the aircraft and took my seat. After a while the
gates were closed and the pilot steered the aircraft and went to the take-off
strip and made its thrust to the clouds and poof-ff I was in the air in no
time, I took a look at my watch to calculate the time I will be landing at my
destination, and went relaxed. I feel this is the way everyone travels.
Now let’s take one more look at the event, did I or any one
reading this has ever inquired that who is riding the plane is there
really a pilot or a monkey...is he drunk or not....does he has enough
experience to fly...does he even know where he has to go...what if on asking
him that will he make us land on the destination, he reply ' We will try to
land on or around the destination.'
Just think for a second who will take his/her seat comfortably or
even take a seat in that plane. But the weird truth is we all
travel like this only and everyday make our decisions without cross-checking
and it all happens because of FAITH. We put
our trust or confidence on/in someone/something based on our
experience/knowledge/Feel.
And for particular cases it just depends that how strong your
faith is, like seeing your partner with someone and you stealthily watched and
make a call to know what he shall say about where he is. You made a call...he
picks it up...you asked him where he is...he says he is in office and call you
back later...you slid the phone in your pocket and slowly moved away.
Now watch closely he came back in evening and kissed you...but you
were very quiet in your reactions... and he spoke to you the very first
sentence...'Hey sorry honey I lied to you in the afternoon, I was with a friend
that time when you called, she is going through some tough times and didn't
want to disclose things so she insisted to not tell you where we are'.
This is ridiculous right
she could have chosen to go upfront and catch him red-handed telling lie but
she instead took a leap of FAITH as per her experience/knowledge/Feel for him
and kept quiet. We can’t trust someone who is not reliable.
FAITH on each other is driving and running the society in various
forms like faith in justice, truth, relations, friends, system..etc...and the
biggest of them all is we will wake up tomorrow morning while closing our eyes
at night and at the barber shop when handing over our neck to him. There has to
be someone to put faith onto, we can’t put our faith on someone who is not
there.
But Faith should not be blind as blind faith is useless like faith
in a Tiger that it shall not pounce on you when you enter its cage.
